Deadline Nearing for Italy Excursion
The application deadline of March 31 is approaching for an archaeological
field expedition to eastern Italy this coming summer from June 26 to July
10. This is open to all. Sponsored by the USDA Forest Service under the
umbrella of their international program, Heritage Excursions, this
archaeological excursion will take place in the Sangro Valley in the Abruzzo
province of eastern Italy. It combines intensive work on an archaeological
excavation~Wthe Sangro Valley Project's sites on Monte Pallano - with visits
to some of the most beautiful cultural and natural attractions in the Sangro
Valley (Val di Sangro). The aim of the Sangro Valley Project, a
collaboration among the Forest Service, Oberlin College and Oxford
University, has been to study society, economy, and settlement change within
the context of a Mediterranean river valley system--the Sangro River valley
in the territory of the ancient Samnites. More information and applications
are available via prominent links on The Archaeology Channel Web site at
